Before Microsoft demanded TPM 2.0, you could install the latest version of Windows on extremely old hardware. Easily reaching that 15 years. We had this already. And Windows 11 can easily run without TPM 2.0. Microsoft just has business reasons to demand it. So I don’t see how innovation is slowed down by this.
Why the complicated if statements to check the sign? Just let the number overflow. Would be functionaly the same, and result in much prettier code.
Weird music to be headbanging on.
Coporate software engineer: Direct interface connection without a safety adapter inbetween.
Teflon Mark (Rutte) is the perfect guy for this job. Nothing sticks to him anyway. Somehow every single fuckup his governments made were always blamed on someone else. And any mistakes he made, he “has no active recollection of”. So these suck-up letters aren’t going to be blamed on Rutte; he was just doing his job: managing Trump.
There is a high demand for teachers in The Netherlands. This demand mostly exists because the job conditions have gotten a lot worse, while pay has not increased accordingly. But if he has found a good place, is not worked into a burnout, and makes enough money to live happily, then he should have a very stable job.
Are you that cheap?
You are in a contract with the government. Maybe an involuntary one, but still a contract. This contract gives you rights and benefits, but also obligations and responsibilities.
When the government does not uphold their end of the contract, or changes it to essentially only obligations for you and no benefits, then it becomes extortion. Still not exactly theft, but closer to what you mean.
However, the vast majority of people get benefits that far outweight the costs of the contract. Safety, transportation, education, utilities, etc.
But how does the Rust compiler do that? What does it actually check? Could I write a compiler in C that does this check on a piece of Rust code?
C is so simplictic, that if I can write a piece of functionality in C, I must understand its inner workings fully. Not just how to use the feature, but how the feature works under the hood.
It is often pointless to actually implement the feature in C, since the feature already has a good implementation (see the Rust compiler for the memory safety). But understanding these features, and being able to mentally think about what it takes in C to implement them, is still helpfull for gaining an understanding of the feature.
I mean, at the end of the day, if you really understand your language of choice, you know that it is jusf a bunch of fancy libraries and compiler tricks of top of C. So in my mind, I’m a fully evolved programmer in a language, when I could write anything I can write in that language in C instead.
I have this experience with a certain type of pedestrian traffic light “button”.
I quote button, because nothing physically moves when you press it. I’m not sure if it registers pressure or heat, but you don’t even feel anything move when you press it.
Usually when you press the button, a red text lights up on the button, telling you to wait. This text gives you feedback that the button registered your press, and the traffic light will schedule a green light for you.
However, sometimes you didn’t press hard enough, and the text doesn’t light up. Simple solution: press harder.
But there is a scenario where it doesn’t matter how hard you press, the button won’t light up. You keep staring at it, while slamming the damn thing with the fury of a Hulk wealding Mjolnir. Still, nothing lights up. The reason: the light instantly went green, so it never needed to light up the text telling you to wait. And all that time slamming your fist on the button, could have been spend crossing the intersection. Instead you have been standing there, looking like a drunk person having a fistfight with an inanimate object.

The rise of rightwing politics is not a problem unique to Greece. The Netherlands has none of the economic issues, and has a steady flow of highly educated people comming into the country, yet we also elected a right wing populist. Remember how popular Le Pen was? Or how about the German AfD party? Don’t blame the wrong reason for the rise of these parties throughout Europe.
Fun fact: Android is one of those Linux variants. It is, however, so highly modified, that we usually don’t really call it ‘Linux’ anymore. But the core components of Android are most certainly Linux components. So in a pedantic way, way more people directly use Linux than you would think.
It is not the physical danger, but the risk of people being manipulated, pressured, or straight up forced into doing it. That can certainly still happen with online content. It may not be the image you have of Onlyfans, but I can’t imagine it not happening to some degree.
Exploitation also happens with foreign workers in the farming and logistics industries though. So under the argument they are making, I recommend also closing the entire farming and logistics industries.
That’s good for PFAS poisoning though, since bloodletting reduced PFAS levels in your blood. So if you are worried about PFAS poisoning: go to your local bloodbank, and start donating!
It is a unitless measure, since you divide income (euro) by price of goods and services (euro).
Good. If member states would be 100% free to assign citizenship, you can get some terrible ideas. For example: give all unwanted migrants citizenship, under the condition that they do not stay in your country.
A lot of treaties only work under the assumption that the definition of citizenship stays what we know it as right now. Protecting that definition means protecting the EU treaties.
Considering std::cout should only directly be used when you are too lazy to place breakpoints, I totally get the decision to auto-flush.
Hungary has a very low income tax. Hence the high VAT. Denmark has both high VAT and income tax.
